Holy hell. I turn on the magic picture box to watch some ESPN as I begin to wake up for my day. Typical male, right? Anyway, They promote a segment called Tne ESPN NFL Draft Lab with Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay. Now, I listen to these two guys during their segments on ESPN radio shows as the world readies itself for the NFL Combine and the Draft. I like their insight, their breakdowns and their information. So, I had hopes that this would be good and informative. When the show segment came on, I took hands off the laptop and focused my attention on Mel and Todd as they broke down their Top 5 Wide Receivers and Tight Ends. Well, I THOUGHT they would do that. Instead, each had their Top 5s listed on the board, and discussed two of each and then a third that was not on the board. The whole time, I found that Kiper would take the segment over any time McShay would take a breath. Seriously, Kiper came off like a blowhard (which he quite probably is anyway) who is starved for attention.
Bottom line? Mel Kiper doesn't share nicely with others. McShay is a great draft analyst and I think Kiper somewhat fears him.
On a side note, why the hell is the basketball arena for Mississippi State called "The Hump?" I just saw that and find it quite amusing.
